Edith confronts Nancy at a coffee shop after Nancy claims she is 'borrowing' Edith's husband, Nolan, for the evening. Nancy provocatively declares that Nolan was forced to marry Edith and would always choose her. Later, an explosion occurs at the shop. Firefighter Nolan arrives at the scene to rescue victims. Edith, injured and concussed at the hospital, tries to call her husband for discharge papers. When she finally reaches Nolan, he coldly dismisses her, reminding her she is only a contract wife and not to call him at work.
